Hello everyone, just returned from our annual 3 weeks away, visiting the in-laws.

Had a lovely time thanks for asking, but the weather was just so unrelentingly hot (France has been experiencing something of a heatwave) that we just couldn't do anything. Except eat! It seems like we spent the entire three weeks going from one family meal to the next, without our usual 'walking it off' the next day. I also allowed myself to indulge in those wonderful cheeses. Consequently I have returned some 4 kilos heavier, and I spent today finding myself unable to fit into some (quite a few actually) of my outfits 🤬😭

I'm very annoyed with myself actually. It's going to be salad all the way for a while from now on and lots of legwork. Grrrrr!!!

I don't usually touch cheese, but in France... you have to! Besides, the hot weather made the camembert especially runny! 😀

Welcome home!

It's been a tad sticky in the UK, too, even up here in the grim and frozen north east. Not ideal weather for wearing tights. I hope your green stuff diet doesn't need to last too long!

Thanks Jacqueline! 😘

I am hoping that I can benefit from the extra volume in my bum and thigh areas to sculpt myself into a more curvy version of what I was before. Firm up the flab and trim that waist. I can dream anyway! lol

Glad you had a good time, Caroline. What would be the point of spending three weeks in France and not indulging in all it has to offer! I'll refrain from cheese related humour and leave it to the Puns R Us division of CDH!

Unfortunately I couldn't handle the heat, an hour or so in the weak Scottish sun and I'm useless for the rest of the day 🙄.

Nice to see you back.

Haha, thank you Allie! X 🙂

I must admit, I was quite relieved that after a rather warm, summery morning, the weather here seems to have reset itself to a default Tyneside summer afternoon with a dash of rain. Being the first rain I've seen for weeks, I was rather mesmerised! 😉

@caroline2k We've got plenty of rain in Cornwall, I wouldn't know what to do without it.

Happy dieting, hope it's not kale smoothies,

Thank you Anna X 😀

Kale smoothies sound frightful! No I'll be replacing most food items with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and gungo peas. I may have to increase the amount of perfume and deodorant I wear for the foreseeable future 🙂

Mmmh, memories of simple pleasures. Oven fresh baguettes and runny Brie .... It's hard to visit France and not put on weight.

I enjoy a few extra calories when traveling. I do not want to skip such cultural experiences like good food and family, but I try and offset it with walks, runs or other activities to burn at least some of them off.  Even after a week on a French river cruise, I managed to gain only a kilo ot so. Dawn rums, or eveni g bike rides throigh Bordeaux helped, and were a magical experience as well.

Unfortunately, it was just too hot to do anything remotely physical, apart from a walk to the village early in the morning. I usually try to get a few nice long walks in around the city but being a pasty-faced lass from the north of England, found the 40 degree temperatures and high humidity just a bit much.
